如果你想迅速吸引你的聽眾，那么在演講開場白，你可以描繪一個異乎尋常的場面，或透露一個觸目驚心的數(shù)據(jù)，或栩栩如生地描述一個聳人聽聞的事情，造成“此言一出，舉座皆驚”的藝術(shù)效果，這樣，聽眾不僅會驀然凝神，而且還會側(cè)耳細(xì)聽，更多地尋求你的講話內(nèi)容，探詢你演講的原因。人都有好奇的天性。在開場白中制造懸念，能激發(fā)聽眾的強(qiáng)烈興趣和好奇心，在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候解開懸念，使聽眾的好奇心得到滿足，也使演講前后照應(yīng)，渾然一體。那么，下面也有幾個技巧可以供大家參考：
1. Start Your Speech With… a Testimonial
